It shouldn't be trying to climb that hill at all! It has a range advantage of a couple kilometers over all the Oarai tanks including Tiger P. They should be trying to get on another hilltop to get a better angle on the defenders. Driving up the hill like that is helping the defenders by making the strike angle more oblique and the dirt berms are going to help deflect more of the shot high and over the tops of the defenders.
Maho brought all her L70/71 gun tanks and Tiger varients which suggests she intended to stay far away from Miho and not let her tanks get savaged in combat at point blank range, even if Jagdtiger is almost invulnerable to their guns, trying to get closer to them like that would normally be a mistake. What are they up to?

Perhaps.

But the Nishizumi doctrine strikes me as demanding more agressive tactics.

Now, that looks more like what St. Gloriana has in the anime. Good work.
Does the Churchill model have a 6-pounder gun? Or is that already the 6-pounder attached to it?

Or maybe it's Erika with her pride that Oarai is no match for Black Forest? So she forced the crew if the Jagdtiger to try and climb the hill, eventhough it's not the best strategy to do in that situation. Of course, I'm just speculating at this point.

That particular Churchill model aka the Churchill Mk. IV NA75, actually has a 75mm M3 gun, the same weapon used on the M3 Lee and the early model M4 Shermans. Said Churchills were refitted with the gun as a field measure by taking the surplus M3 guns that the British were receiving from the US, taking the gun mantles from wrecked M4 Shermans, and then mating them to the Churchill's turret for improved firepower.

For reference, the QF 6-Pounder gun is a 57mm weapon.

Someone's been translating some info from a booklet detailing the history of Senshado. From the part of the translated info so far, it looks like GuP's alternate history goes way further than we thought.

Of particular interest is Kyuniska, the daughter of the Spartan king Argidamus II, who became a champion of these ancient Olympic sensha races (though as the owner of the horse, not as the rider), and in a single act increased the participation of females."

If it backs up it should. The KwK 44 doesn't drop below 100mm of penetration untill somewhere past 3km. According to my calculator, If the cone they dug in on is less than 776m above the plain, Jadgtiger can hit it at 3km. But the closer they get the shorter the height the Jadgtiger can hit, untill it has to climb the hill itself to lay the gun. Its going to be interesting to see the whole story.

It was Miho, not Maho, who was leading BFP when they lost to Pravda. And those were PzKpfw III with the L/60 gun around her flag Tiger H, one of which went sliding into the drink. Miho seems to have preferred to use the smallest tanks that could do the job and fight a battle of manuver, even when she had the choice of the some of the heaviest tanks allowed under the rules.
Maho is the eldest, but wonder if she was not the favorite daughter prior to that incident? Although I haven't started the "Little Army" manga that covers Miho's grade school years(!) yet which should confirm it. Because if its true that Miho prefers small tanks, that kind of fighting demands aggressiveness to pull off successfully, and that would seem to please her Mom.
Maho I think is just trying to avoid being embarrased like Pravda was, she is fighting to not lose, rather than fighting to win, and is resorting to overkill.
